the section this achievement takes place in is somewhat tricky. For the platforms, study their placement and movement before you start jumping. There is at least 1 place where you have to be patient and wait for the right arrangement before you jump. There are also 1 or 2 sets that look like the jump is too long, but is actually spaced *just* enough apart for a double jump. If you're having trouble figuring out where to jump to on the other side, look for exposed flashing rebar. When jumping for the rebar, be sure to hold the button so Deadpool grabs it and doesn't fall into the sewage like a tard.

During this section (and the other platforming achievement), you don't want Deadpool to be holding his guns out. Swing your melee weapons to put them away. Guns out zoom the camera in making it hard to see where you're jumping to. Also Deadpool will stow his guns automatically. Usually at the worst possible time. If he does this mid-jump, it will kill your momentum and you will likely fall into the sewage.

*important*this achievement behaves exactly like it does in the original version. If you fall in, pause right away but DO NOT SELECT RESTART CHECKPOINT. THE GAME WILL STILL TREAT THE ACHIEVEMENT AS FAILED AND RECORD IT ON YOUR SAVE. YOU WILL HAVE TO REPLAY THE WHOLE LEVEL TO TRY AGAIN. If you fail, the work around is to dashboard and quit the game. (If you don't know how, press and with the window that has Deadpool running highlighted, push and select quit). You will have to restart the game and load your save, but you will be placed at the start of the platforming bit and the achievement will not be voided out if you succeed.

Achievement should unlock shortly after you start using the bumper to teleport between platforms.
